A serial killer has killed three people within a one-mile radius in Tampa, Florida. Police
\nhave been investigating to find out more information on the killer, but so far have gotten nothing.<\/p>\n

Within eleven days, three people were killed near bus stops in the Seminole Heights neighborhood. The community is terrified because they don\u2019t know how to protect themselves from someone they haven\u2019t heard anything about.<\/p>\n

The three victims, (left to right), 22-year-old Benjamin Mitchell, 32-year-old Monica Hoffa, and 20-year-old Anthony Taino Naiboa were all killed within the same vicinity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The police officers and the community know very little about the killer and are doing
\neverything they can to prevent another kill. They don\u2019t know the killers\u2019 motive or if there is any at all. There are some common threads, like all the killings being near the Route 9 bus.<\/p>\n

According to the Tampa Police Department, two of the bodies that were found had gun wounds, the other is unknown. The authorities and the community have taken serious measures and have cancelled Trick- or-Treating in the neighborhood. They won\u2019t go out of their homes or even open the door. The community is very frightened and are very cautious of their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Authorities have also figured out another common thread: they were all walking alone at
\nnight. Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said, \u201cThis pains me to tell you that if you\u2019re out there walking alone, that you\u2019re either a suspect or a potential victim.\u201d The neighbors are scared to go outside alone or at all.<\/p>\n

A mother, Maria Maldonado, doesn\u2019t let her 7-year- old son play in the front yard. She
\nsaid, \u201cI\u2019m afraid. We don\u2019t open the door or nothing. A lot of people are scared. I\u2019m scared for my son, for the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The community is looking out for each other because they don\u2019t want to suffer the losses
\nof more neighbors. It\u2019s important to be aware of your surroundings and always be aware of what can happen. Several people like being alone, but maybe next time you\u2019re thinking of taking the bus, bring someone with.<\/p>\n
